From what I can tell, you play a pretty decent snake, however, you have one crucial flaw. In the second video, at around 1:49 you have a rather nice lead, so you took it easy (probably without meaning to) but because of this you let him control the match until around 2:24, once you realize that he's caught up you start doing a little better, notice that all of a sudden you're on your last stock, panic, f-smash, and get rather lucky. I guess what im trying to say is if you were just to play to your best the whole match, and not let up, you wouldn't have needed to rely on his mistakes.
If you want me to actually critique your playstyle, then post a vid of you playing someone much better than you (dont be embarrassed if you lose in it, because vids of you doing well against someone worse than you make it really hard to see your faults)
and again, just to reinforce what I said earlier, don't let up! there's nothing worse than the feeling of losing to someone who you know you could've beat.

Vandal, would it be alright if I take these 3 videos and put them in an official critique thread? I was planning on waiting until I had videos to open it up, but we've had a bunch of these recently so I'm going to make it sooner

lemmie know if its cool

Your Snakes ok, when you grab them use Dthrow!!!!

Please do it will do way more damage than a Bthrow or Fthrow that you wouldn't follow up anything up with it anyway.

You also have to play better people that MK wasn't really that good and if you know him in real life tell him to not do like 5 dtilts in a row.

Your Snake is decent I guess, you should get some more vids.
